Maybe they could make a deal—McConnell will delay a vote on confirming the new justice if Stephen Breyer (now the oldest member of the Court) will retire effective immediately. That would give the Court an odd number.

I’m talking to you, Arizona!

We are doing what we can. So many Californians have moved here. We need help.

It will be a struggle to get anyone confirmed this year. If Trump were to pick a male to replace Ginsburg confirmation would become even harder, probably impossible.

By “her opponent,” I hope you don’t mean you will vote for the Democrat. If so, you really shouldn’t be throwing around the word “traitor” about other people... I’d encourage you to think twice about actively helping our opponents if you’re on our side. Abstain on principle if you feel that way, but don’t become one of the ones responsible for what the Democrats do after winning.

IMO she locked down her K Street deal and this was the price.

Fine, we’ll let Pence be the deciding vote.

So, even with Murkowski and Collins out Pence can break the tie?

Primary her.

She should understand the significance of this and she clearly doesn’t.

Does Susan Collins think she’s going to win reelection to the Senate by denying President Trump his Supreme Court nominee?If she does she sorely mistaken.

Imagine everything reversed and a democrat- ANY DEMOCRAT- breaking ranks and refusing to vote yes on their president’s SC pick.
Not in a million years

Well, it’s easy for the Democrats. They all have a common goal of destroying the country. The Republicans have an establishment wing with that same goal who is constantly in opposition to those in the party who are legitimately trying to save the country and put America first.

Well, Susan, i will check out who your opponents are.

They might be worthy of a donation.

We’ll see.

She has been given over to a reprobate mindset.

President Trump was elected for 4 years....not 3 and a half and has the duty and right to set forth a nominee.

Take out the outlier Quinnipiac poll and she is trailing by 4.5 or so.
